Mark 8
1 In those days, there was again a great crowd, and they had nothing to eat. Jesus called his disciples and said to them,
In those days, there being again a great multitude, and they having nothing to eat, he called the disciples to him, and saith to them,
2 “I have compassion on the crowd, because they continue to be with me already for three days and have nothing to eat.
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have remained with me now three days, and they have nothing to eat.
3 If I send them away to their home without eating, they may faint on the way. Some of them have come a long way.”
And if I send them away fasting to their houses, they will faint on the road; and some of them have come from altar.
4 His disciples answered him, “Where can we get enough loaves of bread in such a deserted place to satisfy these people?”
And his disciples answered him, Whence can ally one satisfy these men with bread here in a wilderness?
5 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. He took the seven loaves, gave thanks, and broke them. He gave them to his disciples to set before them, and they set them before the crowd.
And he ordered the multitude to lie down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.
7 They also had a few small fish, and after he gave thanks for them, he commanded the disciples to serve these as well.
And they had a few small fishes; and having blessed them, he set them before them.
8 They ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the remaining broken pieces, seven large baskets.
And they ate, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that remained, seven baskets.
9 There were about four thousand people. Then he sent them away.
And they were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
10 Immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and they went into the region of Dalmanutha.
And immediately going on board the boat with his disciples, he came into the region of Dalmanutha.
11 Then the Pharisees came out and began to argue with him. They sought from him a sign from heaven, to test him.
And the Pharisees came out, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, trying him.
12 He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
And sighing deeply in his spirit, he saith, Why doth this generation seek for a sign? Truly do I say to you, A sign will not he given to this generation.
13 Then he left them, got into a boat again, and went away to the other side.
And leaving them, he again went on board and crossed to the other side.
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread with them. They had no more than one loaf of bread in the boat.
And they had forgotten to take bread, and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.
15 He warned them and said, “Keep watch and be on guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.
16 The disciples reasoned with each other, “It is because we have no bread.”
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
17 Jesus was aware of this, and he said to them, “Why are you reasoning about not having bread? Do you not yet perceive? Do you not understand? Have your hearts become so dull?
And knowing it, he saith to them, Why are ye reasoning, because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive nor understand? Have ye your mind still blinded?
18 You have eyes, do you not see? You have ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember?
Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? And do ye not remember,
19 When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces of bread did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.”
when I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, and how many baskets full of fragments ye took up? They say to him, Twelve.
20 “When I broke the seven loaves among the four thousand, how many basketfuls did you take up?” They said to him, “Seven.”
When also the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did ye take up? And they say, Seven.
21 He said, “Do you not yet understand?”
And he said to them, Do ye not yet understand?
22 They came to Bethsaida. The people there brought to him a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.
23 Jesus took hold of the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the village; and spitting on his eyes, and putting his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
24 He looked up, and said, “I see men who look like walking trees.”
And he looked up, and said, I can see men, for I see them as trees, walking.
25 Then he again laid his hands upon his eyes, and the man opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw all things clearly.
Then he again put his hands on his eyes, and he saw clearly, and was restored, and saw all things distinctly.
26 Jesus sent him away to his home and said, “Do not enter the town.”
And he sent him away to his house, saying, Go not into the village.
27 Jesus went out with his disciples into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do the people say that I am?”
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?
28 They answered him and said, “John the Baptist. Others say, 'Elijah,' and others, 'One of the prophets.'”
And they answered him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.
29 He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter said to him, “You are the Christ.”
And he asked them, But who do ye say that I am? Peter answering saith to him, Thou art the Christ.
30 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.
And he strictly charged them to tell no one concerning him.
31 He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and would be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and would be killed, and after three days rise up.
And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days rise again;
32 He said this clearly. Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
and he told them this plainly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.
33 But Jesus turned and looked at his disciples and then he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! You are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of people.”
But he turning about and looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan! for thy thoughts are not on the things of God, but on those of men.
34 Then he called the crowd and his disciples together, and he said to them, “If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
And calling the multitude to him with his disciples also, he said to them, Whoever chooseth to follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake and for the gospel, will save it.
For whoever chooseth to save his life, will lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for the sake of me and of the glad tidings, will save it.
36 What does it profit a person to gain the whole world and then forfeit his life?
For what doth it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
37 What can a person give in exchange for his life?
For what can a man give as an exchange for his life?
38 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will also the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
